This Apple Science podcast features Michael Broome, DVM, a principal at Advanced Veterinary Medical Imaging in Tustin, California. He was unhappy with the hardware and software costs of commercially available image viewing systems. He wanted a Picture Archive Communication System that would enable him to share DICOM images on high-quality viewing stations across his network; reduce the costs of viewing; and provide a reliable, no-downtime central archive. The practice used Apple technology to implement a Mac-Based SecureVault PACS solution running on an Apple Xserve RAID. DICOM images are archived in SecureVault and viewed in OsiriX on iMac and Power Mac systems across the AVMI network. The combination of the Mac and OsiriX gives AVMI a powerful, efficient solution at a very attractive cost.
